A descriptive model

Our journey leading up to An Intentional Model (AIM) began about 5 years ago when G and I met at a planning meeting for a local gathering on building community across professional sectors. Since then we’ve heard countless stories off line and on, and this year had the amazing good fortune to discover Peter Block’s work called “A Small Group” on which our model is based.

What we think is most compelling is that it describes how communities have always been built since the beginning of time. In this sense, the model doesn’t propose a model that requires validation or the test of time and experience because it’s already thrived for the past 50,000 years.

People invite each other to dream in ways that engages their gifts in small acts. The biggest truths are often the simplest.
